Er, I think we were talking about Sayuri Asahara, and not Misaki Matsutomo. The post was actually dated last year. Sayuri was around for the Grand Prix Gold in JB in July 2010. This thread is for Japanese players ex-Misaki, since she has her own thread . Blurry D's bounteous emotions for Misaki has somehow overflowed to this thread from the other one .

Sato Shoji will play in mixed doubles with Matsuo Shizuka in Swiss Open. Haha... And for your information, Kazuno Kenta will pair with Takahashi Ayaka this time.

You mean the German Open ?

I think Shoji/Shizuka should be a good combination. The last time Misaki/Kenichi were a pair was in the Swiss Super Series 2010, where they lost narrowly to Chen Hung Lin/Cheng Wen Hsing. So maybe that's a good choice too. But Misaki is playing together with Kenta again in the All England, while Ayaka is paired up with Kenichi. They're probably trying out the different variations to see which one is better, just like the Chinese.

Oh yes, and Minatsu managed to get into the reserves list for the German Open . It's such a big advantage to be in the national team, getting to play in all the big tournaments. But I think she needs to play in the smaller ones to push up her rankings. I'm sure she'll be doing very well this year. BWF has got her family name mixed up. It's Mitani .
